The Most Powerful, Goosebump-Inducing Speeches at Cannes

Fine jewelry is the pièce de résistance of any winning look. If we were filmmakers, we’d scribble an elegant “fin” with diamonds as the final scene fades to black. And out of a sea of gorgeous red-carpet gowns spotted at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, one element remains key: the jewelry that accents them.

Aimed to dazzle and set to high-shine, the surfeit of stunning jewelry choices has our collector’s instincts tingling. From Camila Coehlo’s stunning criss-cross choker by Messika Paris and Salma Hayek’s delicate fern necklace by Boucheron Paris to the multi-colored mandala patterns of Cate Blanchett’s earrings by Chopard, the mega-watt magnetism of fine jewelry has sucked us deeper into the red-carpet mêlée.
